This video demonstrates how I make my gentle Castile soap recipe - my all-time favourite soap to make and to use! Olive oil soap has been made in many parts of the world for centuries, and there's a good reason why. It's the most gentle soap you can use, and there's nothing that matches the feel it gives your skin after bathing. This recipe demonstrates the cold process soap making method used by many home soap makers.

*Recipe details*
600g olive oil
109g water (this recipe uses 42% lye concentration solution for the lye water solution - this is a very low water soap! If you want to learn more about this, check out this video https://youtu.be/wd7_uZfbPn4)
79g sodium hydroxide (includes 4% superfat)
18g rosemary essential oil (3% of total oil amount in the soap recipe)

METHOD
As per video demonstration

*New to soap making? This is important!*
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.
